Ahinadab son of Iddo: the district of Mahanaim

His wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz; his army commander was his cousin Abner, the son of his uncle Ner.

Saul's father Kish and Abner's father Ner were sons of Abiel.

When Abner arrived in Hebron, Joab took him aside at the gate, as though he wanted to speak privately with him, and there he stabbed him in the stomach. And so Abner was murdered because he had killed Joab's brother Asahel.

All of David's people and all the people in Israel understood that the king had no part in the murder of Abner.
